I think we should have a standing thread for writing accomplishments (so they aren't buried in other posts, though please add them there too!).

Comment by Brooke Linville on February 10, 2011 at 6:14pm: Unfortunately the agent decided to turn the project down, though she was very very nice about it. I am a bit frustrated because I am getting form rejections with very little interest from the query and yet this agent was very interested based on the query, so I don't know if it's a problem there or not. I also am getting conflicting opinions on the structure, so I'm back to the drawing board I guess.

Comment by Kathy Brunner on February 8, 2011 at 10:40pm: Congratulations, Brooke. Every time someone gets the call, it's encouraging.

Comment by Mary Keating on January 28, 2011 at 4:37pm: Hot dog - congrats Brooke!!!! Please keep us updated. I will cross my fingers and wish the best for you.

Comment by Kim Mitchell on January 28, 2011 at 2:10pm: Congrats, Brooke. That is great news for an author to hear. Good luck!

Comment by Brooke Linville on January 28, 2011 at 1:34pm: Just got a request for my proposal from an agent. I've spent the fall working really hard on this, so I am encouraged. Anyone else have updates?

Comment by Brigida Alexandra Marcella on December 29, 2010 at 8:29am: Hey girls, I'm thinking to start a project on my blog. I will write a short novel (maybe , let's call it novel) but divided in many parts which I will post every week. Each week, one post. I don't know whether some of you have ever done this before. Maybe, before I start to post the first part, would you give me any advice? Hehehee... =)

My blog is about almost everything about me and my projects. It's on http://brigida-alexandra.blogspot.com
